1) Can't find a decoding software for install scripts (InstData\ubiins.dat IIRC). 2) The check may be executed from a *.exe. P. S. Pro Rally 2001 installer is affected too.

The source of this trouble is the Ubi-Soft installer. Looks like it uses the "CPU_ID Family_Code=0110" equation to detect PIIIs (EAX[11:8] after CPU_ID(EAX=1)). P4s have 1111 in this field and fails the check.

IIRC glide*x.dll are hardware dependant. So V5 drivers can detect V4/V5 only etc. So not install V1 drivers. Just copy V1 glide2x.dll (or glide3x.dll) and fxmemmap.vxd to the game directory if you want to use a V1.

Gex 2 is glide or d3d+glide. IIRC the EU version (Ubi-Soft) is glide only. The US version (Eidos) is d3d only. And there is the glide patch for this version.

Centipede. Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. Supports glide and 3 more proprietary APIs. IIRC there is the separate d3d only version. Curse You! Red Baron. Cybergladiators. Descent. F-16: Multirole Fighter. F/A-18: Korea. Fatal Abyss. Fighter Pilot. Front Line Fighters (all 3 games).

1) HL and HL engine games freeze on the loading screen if a game was started from the autorun. 2) Use something simple to test the glide API. Tech demos as the example.

FF7 is d3d + software. The glide API isn't supported in this game. The unpatched version of FF7 needs palettized textures for the d3d mode. The patch "workarounds" this requirement and the game works with all d3d videocards.

I not have the GOG version but: 1) There must be the eng3dfx.dll file (the glide renderer in the original CD version). 2) Start the game as "incubation.exe -3dfx".

I have 1 theory about constant "grSstQueryHardware failed!". P4P800 SE, WinME. Pcirw.exe from the glide 2.1.1 SDK detects Intel PCI devices only. Pcirw.exe from the glide 2.43 SDK detects all. But there is the "bus id" column. With 00 for Intel PCI devices, 01 for AGP and 02 for PCI slots... Maybe …
